在經(jīng)過了兩個(gè)多月的等待之后,寶鋼收購(gòu)澳大利亞綜合礦業(yè)公司Aquila15%股權(quán)的方案終于獲得了澳洲政府的批準(zhǔn)。 |
After a two-month wait, China’s largest steelmaker, Baosteel, has been given a nod of approval from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board to invest US$240 million in return for a 15 percent stake in Aquila Resources Ltd. |
根據(jù)寶鋼與Aquila達(dá)成的協(xié)議,寶鋼將以2.85億澳元收購(gòu)Aquila15%的股權(quán),寶鋼副總經(jīng)理戴志浩將進(jìn)入Aquila董事會(huì)。 |
According to the agreement, Baosteel’s vice president Dai Zhihao will be given a seat on the Aquila board. |
Aquila是總部位于西澳大利亞的綜合礦業(yè)公司,主要經(jīng)營(yíng)業(yè)務(wù)有鐵礦石、煤炭和錳礦。此次寶鋼與Aquila的合作標(biāo)志著寶鋼在國(guó)際化的進(jìn)程中又邁出了重要而堅(jiān)實(shí)的一步。 |
Perth-based mining company, Aquila produces iron ore, coal and manganese. The Aquila purchase marks a significant step forward in Baosteel’s internationalization strategy. |
關(guān)于寶鋼收購(gòu)Aquila的消息,最早披露于8月27日。在當(dāng)時(shí)簽訂的股權(quán)合作協(xié)議中,寶鋼同意認(rèn)購(gòu)Aquila新發(fā)行的不超過4395萬股股票,將以總價(jià)2.9億澳元的價(jià)格獲得Aquila15%股權(quán),成為該公司的第二大股東。 |
Baosteel’s bid for a stake in Aquila was first reported on August 27 this year. In an initial agreement, Baosteel agreed to buy 43.95 million shares worth US$240 million to become the firm’s second largest shareholder. |
雙方交易若成功,寶鋼將能夠直接投資或參與開發(fā)Aquila旗下的多數(shù)項(xiàng)目,而Aquila將擁有從中國(guó)的銀行獲得低成本貸款的機(jī)會(huì)。同時(shí),寶鋼還與Aquila簽署了關(guān)于戰(zhàn)略合作的備忘錄,雙方將在資源項(xiàng)目層面開展進(jìn)一步合作。 |
If successful, the acquisition will be a win-win deal in which Baosteel can directly invest in or participate in the development of most Aquila projects and Aquila will be able to tap into low-cost finance from Chinese banks. The two parties have also signed strategic cooperation memoranda that pave the way for further cooperation on energy projects. |
業(yè)內(nèi)人士分析稱,中國(guó)鋼企海外收購(gòu)鐵礦石項(xiàng)目,旨在提高在鐵礦石談判上中方話語權(quán),但成功的收購(gòu)并不多,因此短時(shí)間內(nèi)還不可能取代三大鐵礦石巨頭對(duì)中國(guó)鐵礦石的供應(yīng)地位。 (經(jīng)濟(jì)觀察網(wǎng)) |
Experts said that Chinese steel makers’ bids for stakes in overseas miners reflect China’s efforts to gain a greater voice in iron ore talks, but because few bids have so far succeeded it is unlikely to challenge Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Brazil's Vale’s dominance in iron ore supply in the short term.
